Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WARNING: THIS VIDEO GAME MAY IMPAIR YOUR JUDGMENT. IT MAY CAUSE SLEEP DEPRIVATION, ALIENATION OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY, WEIGHT LOSS OR GAIN, NEGLECT OF YOUR BASIC NEEDS AS WELL AS THE NEEDS OF LOVED ONES AND/OR DEPENDENTS, AND DECREASED PERFORMANCE ON THE JOB. THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN FANTASY AND REALITY MAY BECOME BLURRED. PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SUICIDE ATTEMPTS. No such warning was included on the latest and greatest release from the Warcraft series of massive multiplayer online role-playing games—World of Warcraft (WoW). So when Ryan Van Cleave—a college professor, husband, father, and one of the 11.5 million Warcraft subscribers worldwide—found himself teetering on the edge of the Arlington Memorial Bridge, he had no one to blame but himself. He had neglected his wife and children and had jeopardized his livelihood, all for the rush of living a life of high adventure in a virtual world. A fabulously written and gripping tale, Unplugged takes you on a journey through the author's semireclusive life with video games at the center of his experiences. Even when he was sexually molested by a young school teacher at age eleven, it was the promise of a new video game that had lured him to her house. As Ryan's life progresses, we witness the evolution of video games—from simple two-button consoles to today's multikey technology, brilliantly designed to keep the user actively participating. For Ryan, the virtual world was a siren-song he couldn't ignore, no matter the cost. As is the case with most recovering addicts, Ryan eventually hit rock bottom and shares with you his ongoing battle to control his impulses to play, providing prescriptive advice and resources for those caught in the grip of this very real addiction.

Download or read book Game Addiction written by Neils Clark and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-06-08 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eleven-year-old boy strangled an elderly woman for the equivalent of five dollars in 2007, then buried her body under a thin layer of sand. He told the police that he needed the money to play online videogames. Just a month later, an eight-year-old Norwegian boy saved his younger sister's life by threatening an attacking moose and then feigning death when the moose attacked him--skills he said he learned while playing World of Warcraft. As these two instances show, videogames affect the minds, bodies, and lives of millions of gamers, negatively and positively. This book approaches videogame addiction from a cross-disciplinary perspective, bridging the divide between liberal arts academics and clinical researchers. The topic of addiction is examined neutrally, using accepted research in neuroscience, media studies, and developmental psychology.

Book excerpt: Video games can be quite entertaining for children as well as the whole family, given the right circumstances. Studies have shown that kids who play certain kind of games appropriate to their age at moderate levels suffer from little to no harm at all. However, when a child becomes more engrossed in video games than other interests, it's easy to become concerned as a parent, especially if the obsession lasts longer than what might be considered just a 'passing phase.' As you probably already know, video game addiction is a real problem, with real consequences. This book was written to help you identify whether your child is suffering from an actual addiction, or whether he or she is simply passionate about playing video games. You will be provided with practical insight into properly addressing your child's current level of exposure to video games, thereby preventing or remedying a possible addiction. Much like other types of addictions, approaching the situation appropriately is crucial because taking the wrong approach could prove to be just as problematic as the addiction itself. The good news is, no matter how far along the addiction is, there are numerous ways to intervene and get your child back on the right path. So what are you waiting for? Grab this book now, and let's get started!
